This episode of the EIC Alumni podcast features Syed - a tremendous example of someone who took full advantage of a second opportunity to get himself and his career moving in the right direction by undergoing an intensive year at the College.

Studying Physics, Economics and Geography, Syed pushed mediocre grades up to excellent ones, and then took an offer to study Physical Geography at Queen Mary University, London.

Now working as a data analyst, Syed discusses his happy memories of how the College helped to change his approach to studying and how it gave him a great deal of new motivation to succeed.
